RiNG Studio
Soyo...
MutsumiShe's here again.
Mutsumi
MutsumiGet her away.
MutsumiSoyo-chan, you're the one who brought her here!
AnonHey, You should just go.
Soyo(I feel like I'm not the one who should go.)
TakiThe bass is wrong again.
SoyoWasn't I playing fine?
TakiNonsense, are you thinking about Mutsumi again?
Soyo...
AnonYou still care a lot, huh? Mutsumi-chan of course... But Sakiko-chan cried too.
TakiEh?
AnonI feel a bit bad about it. I might have misunderstood Sakiko-chan all this time.
Taki...
TakiDo you guys know that tomorrow is the regular live? Soyo and Anon are not focused at all.
TakiWe haven't even finished the new song. Only Tomori is taking it seriously.
TakiShe's been writing lyrics recently.
Tomori...
TakiGet some energy into it! We are MyGO!!!!!. Didn't we agree to take the live seriously?
AnonAnd then we just borrowed two more hours in the recording studio~?
TakiCome here. Tell me Mutsumi's address. I'm going to take a shot.
AnonA shot!? That's not a good idea.
TakiDon't ask so much.
AnonBy the way, why are you asking me? Why don't you just ask Soyorin?
Taki(I asked you because it's difficult to ask her directly.)
AnonOk, fine. Want to go together?
TakiI'll go by myself.
The Next Day
TakiAh...
SakikoTaki
TakiI'm telling you, what you do is your choice. But don't cause trouble for MyGO!!!!!.
TakiSoyo and Anon can't even focus on practicing.
SakikoI see.
TakiThey said you were crying...
SakikoEh?
TakiAh, no... Soyo told me that a lot was happening on your side...
Sakiko!
TakiI said a lot of hurtful things... So...
TakiAh... Back when we were in CRYCHIC...
Sakiko?
TakiMore importantly, how's Mutsumi?
Sakiko...
SoyoTaki-chan, you are worried too, right?
TakiUgh... Why are you here? Do you know we still have to practice before the rehearsal?
SoyoIt's nothing, I just came to bring some refreshments. Go on.
SakikoCucumbers?
HousekeeperWell, why don't you all come inside and wait?
SakikoNo need, I'll wait here—
TakiThen excuse us.
SoyoLet's go. You two haven't had a proper talk yet, right?
Sakiko...
Sakiko...
SoyoHave you two not met since that time?
Sakiko、Taki...
SoyoWell, since we're not in the same school, there aren't many opportunities to meet. Saki-chan, are you at the same school as Tomori-chan now?
SoyoIf Taki-chan stayed at Haneoka too, you could be together.
TakiIsn't it fine like this now?
SoyoWhy did you go to Hanasakigawa?
Taki...
Soyo...
TakiBecause I didn't want to be recognized as Maki-san's little sister.
SoyoAfter all, your sister is so famous.
Taki*Sigh*...
Sakiko...
AnonThe live is today!?
MyGO!!!!!
AnonYou need to come before the rehearsal💢💢💢
TakiAnon sent a message.
SoyoBecause we're late for the practice.
TakiSince we're already here, we can't just ignore it. Even though the band broke up, we were once comrades.
SakikoTaki...
TakiAlthough I don't know what Mutsumi thinks, because she said she didn't think the band was fun.
SakikoWhat people say isn't always the truth.
SakikoEspecially Mutsumi. She's been blaming herself for saying the wrong things.
SoyoThen why did she say that?
SakikoShe said she wasn't happy, because she thinks she was not playing well.
SoyoNo way...
Taki...
SakikoFor Mutsumi, CRYCHIC is very important.
Mortis...
SakikoMutsumi!
SoyoMortis-chan.
MortisI'll let you meet Mutsumi-chan.
MutsumiSaki... I'm sorry. Did my words hurt you?
SakikoMutsumi didn't do anything wrong! It's all my... It's because I've been relying on you all this time.
SakikoI'm the one who's really sorry.
MutsumiNo.
Soyo...
MutsumiSoyo, Taki.
Soyo、TakiEh...
MutsumiI'm sorry. I... ruined the band. I can't play the guitar well... I've always wanted to apologize...
TakiIt's fine! Actually, I'm sorry too!
MutsumiI also want to apologize to Tomori.
SoyoMutsumi-chan, there's nothing you need to apologize for.
MutsumiEh...
Anon
TakiAh, Anon. Hey.
Taki
Anon
MutsumiTomori...
TomoriMutsumi-chan...
AnonHuh, what's wrong?
TomoriSaki-chan, this...
SakikoThis notebook.
Taki"Song About Wanting to Become a Human"... The lyrics have changed. Is this what you've been writing lately? Why?
TomoriBecause Saki-chan said, that she wants to become a human.
SakikoThese lyrics... "I want to become a human" means...
TakiBut these lyrics...
Soyo(You dance in the light, but you're too far away I can't get you, anger and tears, what did you see there?)
Soyo(I still want to open up and reach out. Even with all the mistakes, this is the cry of the heart)
SoyoPfft! Ahahaha, ahaha!
TakiWhy are you laughing?
SoyoBecause these lyrics... ahaha! Ahahahaha!
Everyone?
TakiHuh?
SoyoHahaha... haa... haa... Tomori-chan, you're amazing.
TomoriEh? Ugh...
Soyo(So this is how she thought about Saki-chan.)
Soyo(But after all... this is Tomori-chan's song, isn't it?)
Soyo(These lyrics are so typical of Tomori-chan. Always so raw and honest... I really can't imitate her.)
Soyo(Worried, suffered, wanted to understand but couldn't. But that makes sense. It's not easy to understand others.)
TakiYou're being really rude to Tomori.
SoyoEh~? I was complimenting her!
AnonYou should just play this one. Here, guitar.
MutsumiEh...
AnonRāna-chan's gone somewhere, so we can't rehearse. Why don't you use the stage instead?
Soyo、Taki、Mutsumi、Tomori、Sakiko...
AnonOh, Rāna-chan, you're here.
RānaShall we play?
AnonYeah~ but let's wait a bit for now.
RānaOkay.
TomoriThis song...
TomoriThis song is... I wrote it thinking about Saki-chan...
TomoriBut... no matter how hard I try, it's still a mess...
TomoriI can't see anything clearly...
TomoriBut still... I don't understand anything...
TomoriBut...
TomoriCRYCHIC...
TomoriBeing able to join CRYCHIC... I'm so happy...
SakikoTomori...
TakiCan we play one more song?
TakiYou're going to sing, right?
TomoriYeah.
SoyoSaki-chan...
Soyo(Maybe we have always just been looking at what we wanted to see.)
Soyo(I've always thought that we were a special band.)
Soyo(That I believed in fate...)
Soyo(Every day spent with everyone was so fun, it all seemed to shine.)
Soyo(Maybe it looks more beautiful, because we've lost it.)
Soyo(I've always wanted to go back to the past.)
Taki(I was saved by Tomori's song.)
Taki(I was expecting,)
Taki(hoping that we could recreate that day...)
Taki(a perfect live, as an invincible band...)
Taki(But in reality, we were just ordinary people, we were just performing normally.)
Taki(We were just an ordinary band.)
Taki(CRYCHIC was so ordinary. But for me back then, it was necessary.)
Taki(Because this is the first place I felt like I could)
Taki(stay true to who I am.)
Sakiko(This place used to be my support.)
Sakiko(Even as I struggled to look away, I found myself sinking deeper into it.)
Sakiko(But this is the last time...)
Sakiko(CRYCHIC has already gone.)
Soyo(Thank you, I love you all.)
Taki(Even if this is no longer where we belong,)
Sakiko(I'll never forget today's performance as long as I live.)
EveryoneHaa... Haa...
Tomori! Thank you, everyone...!
Anon
Soyo...I should probably cool my eyes...
SakikoMutsumi.
MutsumiAh... Thank you for the guitar.
AnonNo need to thank me! I'm happy that my guitar was played by you, Mutsumi-chan!
TakiUgh...
SoyoYou're still crying.
TakiShut up!
SoyoDo you want to use my handkerchief?
TakiI have one, no need.
RānaIs it over?
SoyoSorry to keep you waiting.
TakiAlright, then let's do MyGO!!!!!'s rehearsal.
SakikoMutsumi, let's go.
MutsumiOkay...
